A Fractional-Order Model Reference Adaptive Control (FO-MRAC) strategy based on PD control is proposed to realize attitude control of quadrotor UAVs,which is affected by undervoltage batteries and variation of rotational inertia.Firstly,by analyzing the nonlinear motion equation of a UAV with motor module,a control model containing uncertain time-varying factors is constructed.Then,three attitude control laws are designed for the pitch,roll and yaw channels respectively.The stability of the system is proved by Lyapunov theorem.Finally,comparative simulation experiments with the traditional PD control and the ordinary MRAC are designed,which illustrate the superiority of the proposed method.The method can effectively eliminate errors,improve dynamic performance and stability of the system.

    UAV swarm operations are gradually becoming a mainstream mode of air combat in the future,which poses severe threats and challenges to air defense operations.The reasonable deployment of air defense weapons in advance has a direct impact on the overall performance of operations against UAV swarm.From the perspective of the two sides in air defense operations,this paper comprehensively analyzes the autonomous intelligence of UAV swarm and the main factors affecting air defense deployment.Besides,the confrontation process between UAV swarm and air defense weapons is quantified,and an air defense deployment model based on nested Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed.The simulation example verifies that the model taking the UAV swarm threat index as indicators can be used for optimizing the deployment of air defense weapons,and has high reference value for the researches on decision-making of combat against UAV swarm.

    Sparrow Search Algorithm (SSA) has better performance than other biomimetic algorithms. However,its convergence accuracy is not high enough,and it is prone to fall into local optimum under complex multi-modal functions. In order to overcome these defects,this paper proposes an improved multi-strategy SSA based on K-means. The algorithm adopts multiple search strategies. Firstly,the initial population is clustered by K-means to accelerate information exchange within the population. Then,the sine and cosine search strategy is used to update the position of the followers,and the adaptive local search strategy is used to update the optimal individual,so as to find a more reliable feasible solution and improve convergence accuracy and optimization ability. The dual-strategy SSA is compared with the two single-strategy SSAs through 10 test functions,and it is verified that the introduction of the strategies can effectively improve the optimization ability of SSA. The two single-strategy SSAs have stronger optimization ability,and the dual-strategy SSA has weaker optimization ability. Finally,the three SSAs are applied to the LQR control of active suspension.The experimental results show that the optimization effect of the dual-strategy SSA is not ideal,while the two single-strategy SSAs have significant optimization effect,which can improve the performance of active suspension.

    Vector Tracking Loop (VTL) is one of the most promising signal tracking technologies of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver technologies. In the traditional GNSS receiver, Phase Lock Loop (PLL) is employed to complete carrier signal tracking, and then Least Squares Method (LSM) or Kalman Filter (KF) is utilized to estimate navigation information. In contrast, VTL utilizes a KF to complete signal tracking and navigation estimation, which has better signal tracking abilities. In order to improve VTL positioning accuracy, Graph Optimization (GO) based VTL is proposed in this paper. In this method, GO is used to replace KF. Compared with KF, GO regards the state and measurement equations of VTL filter as constraints, whose optimal solution is obtained by Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, so that the optimal navigation estimation is obtained. Field tests show that the standard deviation of 3D position errors is reduced respectively by 40.5%, 50.9% and 41.7%, and the mean values of 3D position errors are decreased respectively by 43.0%, 54.9% and 34.7%.

    As for actuator failure of quad-rotor UAV formation when switching topology,a fault-tolerant multi-agent consistency control method based on fuzzy system is proposed.Firstly,the error model and actuator failure model of multi-agent quad-rotor UAV are established.Then,the fuzzy system is used to approximate the nonlinear part of the quad-rotor UAV,and an adaptive law is designed to estimate actuator failure and uncertainty of external disturbances.Finally,the stability of the fault-tolerant consistency control law is analyzed,which proves that the tracking error of each of the UAVs is uniformly bounded.The simulation results show that the designed fault-tolerant consistency control law has good stability,robustness and tracking accuracy with the maximum tracking error of only 0.3°,which realizes fault-tolerant UAV consistency control under nonlinear uncertainty,external disturbances and actuator failure when switching topology.

    The traditional Kernel Correlation Filtering (KCF) tracking algorithm lacks the ability to deal with target occlusion.To solve the problem,occlusion judgment indexes and an improved algorithm with adaptive model updating are proposed.Two indexes,maximum response value and the number of low response points,are used to comprehensively determine whether there is occlusion,and then the models learning rate is adjusted adaptively,so as to avoid inaccurate tracking in the presence of occlusion.The image sequences with occlusion are selected from OTB2015 data set to verify the performance of the algorithm.Compared with that of the traditional KCF algorithm for tracking under occlusion,the accuracy is increased by 15.12%,and the success rate is increased by 14.7%.The experimental results show that the improved algorithm can accurately track targets when there is occlusion with higher accuracy and stronger robustness.

    At present,when a single soldier uses barrel-type munitions,the hit probability improvement is mostly based on the preposition method,which depends on the shooters estimation of target motion information.Target motion information mainly includes the angular rate and yaw angle of the targets lateral motion relative to the shooter,as well as the targets speed in the direction of weapon/target connecting line (radial direction).Based on this,a scheme of real-time measurement of target motion information using MIMU fixed on the launcher is proposed,in which Kalman filter algorithm is used to suppress noise in sensor data,and the equivalent rotation vector algorithm is used to calculate the attitude angles.A test prototype is designed,and the feasibility of the proposed scheme is verified through tests.The test results show that,the maximum deviation of lateral angular rate is 0.001 5 (°)/s and 0.002 5 (°)/s at the firing angles of 5° and 28° respectively,so that the shooter can obtain accurate target motion information,thereby improving shooting accuracy and alleviating operation burden.
